Film documents ‘The Great American Wheat Harvest’
Since its national premiere in Washington, D.C. on National Ag Day in March, The Great American Wheat Harvest documentary film has been screening in theaters and at special events around the country.
The Great American Wheat Harvest tells the story of custom harvesters who travel from the heart of Texas to the Canadian border harvesting the wheat that feeds our country and the world. The film was produced by award-winning director and producer Conrad Weaver, who says the response to the film has been “overwhelmingly positive”. According to Weaver, his goal was for viewers to gain a better understanding of where their food comes from and what it takes to get a loaf of bread to the table.
One of the most recent screenings took place at the historic Grand Theatre in Grand Island, Nebraska during the week of Husker Harvest Days. After viewing the film, we had a chance to visit with Jody Lamp, national executive co-coordinator for The Great American Wheat Harvest.
Note: The film will be available on DVD/BLU RAY later this fall. For more information, go to greatamericanwheatharvest.com.
